Red-Bearded Lame Ant with the Sultan of Elephants

In Sultan of Elephants, the relationship between power and righteousness is discussed based on a folk tale. The Sultan of Elephants declares war on the ants, relying on his power. Being right or wrong is not important to him. His intention is to test his power on ants millions of times smaller than himself. However, the ants unite and overthrow the elephant sultanate without bowing to injustice.
"If I were to look for the symbol of this cruelest of the human race, a similar one among animals, maybe I would find crocodiles, boa constrictors. No, I don't think we can find an animal species on earth that is terrifying enough to symbolize these cruel people..."

"Yaşar Kemal is a fearless social critic. And a unique poet. Everyone who reads him will be amazed by his fascinating, powerful narrative talent."
